CHQ Readers: Establishment GOP “Leaders” Must Be Replaced

By CHQ Staff | 3/7/13

ConservativeHQ Chairman Richard Viguerie said recently that the most important political battle in America today is not the fight between liberals and conservatives, it is the fight between the Big Government establishment Republicans and small government constitutional conservatives for control of the Republican Party. Viguerie proposed that conservatives takeover the Republican Party and has offered the $10,000 Liberty Prize to stimulate submission of plans and ideas for the conservative takeover of the GOP.

We wondered if CHQ readers, especially the ones who have yet to submit a plan or idea on how conservatives might take over the GOP, supported the idea of a conservative takeover of the Republican Party.

According to the results of our online poll, 87% of CHQ readers support the idea of a conservative takeover of the Republican Party. Only 12% want to keep things as they are, even though the GOP has only won a popular vote majority once in the past 6 presidential elections.

We asked: “What do you think, is it time for conservatives to take over the Republican Party?”

You answered:

87% said “Yes, losing in 2012 to Obama in the midst of a horrible economy proves it's time for new conservative leadership in the GOP.”

12% said “No, keep things as they are, even though the GOP has only won a popular vote majority once in the past 6 presidential elections.”

Yes, without a doubt GOP needs a big time replacement. We need leaders that are not afraid of the truth, that do not fear calling someone a liar, we need gesticulating fortitude ( the ladies and men sure have it with their lies and propaganda in the democratic party!). We need leaders with a spine, we do not need sell-outs like Lyndsay Graham and MCain, I like hoe Rubio speaks, but not how he votes, same with Ryan-which by the way koidoos to him for his budget-but I am ever quite sure that discretionary expenses can be cut over social security which is NOT an entitlement- unless you are not entiteled to it, simple!. The Chen-trail, global warming, cap™, shrimp on treadmills, bovine urine studies, FDA, foreign bases (where we are for over 50 years-strategic o.k. but seriously?.... I digress, we need our basic liberties back. that is why so many stood up and with Rand

Indiana's just passed “Religious Freedom Restoration Act” that protects people of faith from being coerced by government into violating the tenets of their faith is under fire from the homosexual lobby which claims it legitimizes discrimination against homosexuals. What to you think?

Choices:

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act is necessary to protect all people of faith against government coercion.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act will legitimize discrimination against homosexuals.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act is a good idea but may need to be tweaked to insure it does not protect discrimination.
